You're most likely looking at a "X" that was marked when this was captured by the Russians.

The Erfurt proof marks are crowns over a Fraktur letter.

All Erfurts were military guns since they were made by the Imperial Arsenal under license from DWM.

There should have been a date on the original receiver.

Depending on condition, if priced as a mid to lower range shooter (refinished ? dipped ? ) it could be worth looking at.

If your looking for a collectable gun, you'll have to post some pictures to get a more accurate analysis here.
